So are they going to ignore post Jedi EU continuity or what?

Don't be fuckin with my emotions Dan. If this is real I am a very happy person.

I spent a good amount of time mocking people for saying an Episode 7 would come out. Fuck you Disney.

People should be happy Lucas is only consulting now.

[Dan Blaze]

Literally all that has been said is what disney has in that press release. Real shitty way to start out if you ask me. "Oh yea lol btw we gots one of them star wars movies comin out."

I'm not sold on it.

Look what Disney did with that one movie based on that pulp character. Fuck. The name escapes me right now. Help?

[Dan Blaze]

John Carter.

[Chob]

John Carter.

Thanks.

Well fuck it. Maybe that live action TV series will become reality now. It was originally supposed to begin production 3 years ago.

[Dan Blaze]

IF (and that is a big if), Lucas is allowed to be independent for the most part, like Marvel has been, it could actually be a boon to take some control from crazy ass George and get back to making kick ass games like Tie Fighter and decent fiction.

[Chob]

2015 seems like rushing it a bit. But hell, the Marvel films have been done fast and come out good.

I just want more details regarding era/plot, well ANYTHING really.

[Dan Blaze]

That is where this is kind of goofy, at least have a 30 second teaser with the music hitting after some text, something.

[Chob]

They just want the attention a big press release gets them. I liked the prequels (well more II and III) so believe me, I won't be hard to please.

[The Butler]

So the part about Disney paying $4 billion for Lucas Films just passed you all by?

[Dan Blaze]

No... that is the main point of the story...

[Chob]

That is a jaw dropping amount of cash.

[Chob]

If they make the new Star Wars movies with a similar style to the Marvel Studios movies I could dig it.
